A cross between a Fla King, a Calf King and a Honduran Milk. My understanding is that An albino Calf King was bred into Fla Kings to produce aka Lemon Kings. These were rebred to other Fla Kings to increase the percentage of Fla in them. One of these albino Lemon Kings which was a high percentage Fla King was then bred by a male Tangerine Honduran which produced the first het for albino Fla-Calf-Honduran offspring. Andy Barr was the one that did this and he called them Jurassic Milks.

HDEAN, Thanks for answering that Question I was wondering the same thing.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know how they where crossed? Did they breed willingly or where the tricked.Thanks

They were tricked. It took Andy approx 18 adult hondurans to get one female to breed.

You know, the part where he was originally trying to breed the albino cal-king gene into honduran milksnakes and then cross back to hondurans to get albino "honduran" milksnakes without having to invest in expensive albino hondurans, which weren't even pure hondurans in the first place. It all seems so screwy to me...

In the case of the Jurassic Milks he told me he used a male Honduran x's a female Lemon King. No female Hondurans wasted.
I think you are referring to a hybrid he did later involving Snow Corn males and female Hondurans.
When he bred a Snow Corn male into female Hondurans he wasted the breeding potential of 9 Honduran females and only one got bred.

They were tricked. It took Andy approx 18 adult hondurans to get one female to breed.

5 years ago Andy told me that 18 females were used but only one took.

I called him today and asked him again and now he says 6 female hondurans were used and only one took.

Go figure ?

Again we are talking about 2 different hybrids he did. The question was about the Jurassic Milks and no female Hondurans were used at all is what he told me. He said a female albino Lemon King was used and a male Honduran. He even went on to say that using a female Lemon introduced larger clutch sizes whether that is true or not it is what he said.

No. I was talking about the Jurassics all along.Never got confused with the corndurans.
I called Andy last night to confirm before I posted anything. Andy said he definetly used female hondurans.
I think he gets himself confused at times. Great work he does.

Ok. I think he can't keep his stories straight. Like you said, he produces killer stuff.
